Did you know that the CTDG (Computer Textile Design Group) has now started up a blog? It is early days yet, but I think it is an excellent idea and a great way to be more interactive with members. I hope that we will see lots of wonderful images appearing on the blog, links to other people who share our interest in using the computer as a design tool for their textile work, and generally loads of interesting stuff.

However, it is really very new, and there is only a little bit up on the blog so far, so what we need to do is visit the blog, make comments, suggest links / content etc and see whether we can help get it up and running and full of intersting things.

This is the blog of the Designs On Textiles group who are a bunch of people who use the computer as a design tool for their textile work.

Welcome

Hi,

Welcome to the blog of the DOT group. This blog was designed to keep members up to date with what went on at our meetings, but if you are not a member, you are very welcome to read our posts anyway.

DOT, or Designs On Textiles was formed by a group of like minded individuals who use the computer as a design tool for their textile work. Members have a range of abilities from total beginners to old hands. Most of us are in to stitched textiles in some form, but we do have a machine knitter and a hand knitter as well. We meet once every 3 months for a day of exploration and sharing, and a good old natter.

Our base is in Nottingham, and we are all members of the Computer Textile Design Group (CTDG) which is an international version of DOT. There are other local groups around the country, so if you are interested in joining one, simply contact the CTDG for details of where to find us all. You can contact DOT by leaving a comment or emailing one of the members via this blog.
